In your original example your file contains: > xsi:type='xsd:string'>Zubeh�r</category>> Which showed up like this: > xsi:type='xsd:string'>Zubehör</category> on the server when using TCPMonitor. You did not state how the request XML was generated or how you copied it for use in your message. It may be that the message was valid UTF-8 and was translated for you when you pasted it into your email program. If you look at the request with a hex editor, the � should appear as C3 B6. This is the UTF-8 encoding of that character, and it will show up as ö if you view the file with an editor that thinks it is looking at iso8859-1. Since TCPMonitor is showing two characters, it implies that something on your client is converting your message to UTF-8 twice. -Jeff
